Flight 3407: News Summary

A group of families who lost loved ones in past plane crashes have banded together to back a lawsuit against the federal government. The action was filed Tuesday in an attempt to force the FAA to take action on safety recommendations as opposed to sitting on them for years. Former Department of Transportation head Mary Schiavo appeared in Buffalo yesterday.

National Air Disaster Alliance [[ NADA ]] members say they fear the crash of Flight 3407 might have been prevented if the FAA had taken action on safety recommendations that were made 15 years ago.

Neighbors to the crash site of Flight 3407 in Clarence Center have begun returning to their homes. About a dozen neighbors were evacuated after the fiery crash while cleanup operations began. Residents were allowed to return yesterday, but local officials say it may take a few days for all to come back.
